CHICAGO — Loyola University Chicago will serve as the host site for the 2026 Atlantic 10 Women's Volleyball Championship, taking place at Gentile Arena from Friday, Nov. 20 through Sunday, Nov. 22. This marks a significant milestone for the Ramblers' women's volleyball program and university athletics department, bringing the conference's postseason tournament to Chicago for the first time ever. 

Since joining the A-10 prior to the 2022 season, Loyola has established itself as a dominant force in the league and has advanced to the tournament title match for the last four years. In their inaugural A-10 season, the Ramblers captured their first conference tournament title with a 3-1 victory over the Dayton Flyers. The following season Dayton got its revenge, besting Loyola 3-1 in the championship round. In 2024, the Ramblers claimed the program's second league crown with a sweep over the top-seeded Flyers. Last fall, Loyola secured back-to-back titles and their third championship in four years following a five-set thriller over VCU.
